This costs 4 bytes per allocation.
We could save some memory by splitting primary and secondary allocator metadata types, but that would require significant code refactoring.

Do we even need a limit at this level any more if the implementation supports up to 2^63 sizes? I guess any address-space imposed limit would be enforced by mmap failing when we go to make a large secondary allocation.

replaced attribute((packed)) with split storage

I think it's good to have a limit so that allocation attempts with obviously wrong sizes are rejected with a clear message.

LGTM

Okay, fair enough.
